(I know I posted this already on my personal blog but I thought it was appropriate for this one as well. Don't think me vain, okay?)I know I have been a slacker on the blog lately but I promise I have not been a slacker when it comes to being crafty. Along with cranking out half a dozen nursing covers, baby shower gifts and of course aprons, I wanted to make Elsie her very own Happy Stackers using this pattern from Heather Bailey. How cute is this?!?! As soon as I understood what the directions were asking of me, it went pretty quickly and wasn't as intimidating as I thought it was going to be. And she actually plays with them so that means I was victorious!!! Here are a few pics to show off my hard work (as with most things I make, especially the fist time around, don't look too closely):The fabric is Amy Butler and I just about died at the fabric store when I saw them all together in a bin. They needed a good project and good home and I am so happy I got to provide that for them. Elsie will give them the love and attention they deserve. I wish I was better at stuffing things, they always come out so lumpy and uneven but good news, I finally learned how to slip stitch. By the last ring, I was really good at it. Overall, a very doable project and one I will do again for gifts. Thanks Heather Bailey and Amy Butler for the adorable fabric!

A Little About Us...

We began with a mutual love of aprons. Having never sewn at all, a couple of us decided to get together and try our hand at sewing an apron. And the Secret Stitch Club was formed (we got our name from Maren's husband who sarcastically asked us one time if we put a secret stitch in our aprons). Almost two years and dozens of aprons later, we still meet weekly to sew, chat, share ideas, eat, and laugh. We share our latest creations and newest inspirations on this blog. Thanks for visiting us!
